| 1 | * DiedDuringProduction: When Joe Colquhoun's health began failing, there were several delays in the later episodes of ''Charley's War''. Out of respect, the strip ended when he felt he could no longer continue, a year before his death. |
| 2 | * ScrewedByTheNetwork: The death of the magazine can be traced to when the ''Action Force'' name and property was suddenly revoked and given to Marvel Comics' UK branch. Why? Because Creator/{{Hasbro}}, creators of ''Franchise/GIJoe'', of which ''Action Force'' (and its' predecessor/successor ''Franchise/ActionMan'') was a European counterpart/clone of, bought ''AF'''s company Palitoy, and then gave the rights to Marvel to make it closer to the ''Real American Hero'' line in the US (indeed, the whole thing wound up becoming ''G.I. Joe'' a few years later, in an awkward transitional period that saw Baron Ironblood becoming Cobra Commander). |
| 3 | * PostScriptSeason: Despite the war ending, Charley doesn't get to leave the army as intended immediately, since Snell gets him "volunteered" into fighting in the Russian Civil War. Once the British Army pulls out of that, there's a TimeSkip to the DistantFinale with Charley on the dole as Hitler is elected Chancellor of Germany. The World War II stories also fall under this, taking Charley up to the evacuation at Dunkirk. |
| 4 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 5 | ** ''Charley's War'' was intended to be part of a century-spanning GenerationalSaga, continuing on with Charley's son as TheProtagonist in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. Charley's son did appear in the UsefulNotes/WorldWarII stories that were published, but as a supporting character who has a HeroicBSOD. Charley's grandson was intended to be a third protagonist stationed in Northern Ireland during UsefulNotes/TheTroubles. |
| 6 | ** Blue would have featured throughout the saga, first returning to fight for the Irish Republic as a member of the IRA during [[UsefulNotes/TheIrishRevolution the first Troubles]] in 1920. In the end he never reappeared after the Étaples mutiny, and we never got to see Charley in Ireland. |
| 7 | ** Jack was supposed to get more stories, one of which would have covered the Battle Of Jutland, but poor feedback from readers regarding Jack's adventures in the Battle Of The Falklands led to this being dropped, much to the disappointment of Pat Mills. |
